Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19635587A1] The invention relates to a handheld implement for transferring a film (25) from a backing strip (7) wound on a supply reel (5) onto a substrate, the said implement having a housing (2), a pressure-exerting part (16) projecting therefrom, and two bearing and/or carrier devices for the supply reel (5) and a take-up reel (6) for the backing strip (7) guided around the pressure-exerting part (16), the housing being able to be opened for the purposes of replacing the reels (5, 6). In order to be able to load such a handheld implement simply and quickly without the costs and material expenditure involved in a replaceable cassette, a loading aid (30) provided for loading the opened housing (2) with the reels (5, 6) is proposed in a mutual arrangement of these reels (5, 6) that is substantially identical to that of the bearing and/or carrier devices, the loading aid having at least one guide element (34) associated with the guide surface (16b, 18) of the pressure-exerting part (16), which element is designed to ensure that the backing strip (7) extending between the two reels (5, 6) rests against the latter in such a way that when the loading aid (30) is in place it at least partially surrounds or envelopes the pressure-exerting part (16).
